I had another nice Tom at 25 yards this morning but he made me as I tried to slowly move the gun. Didn't want to risk a running shot.Should have been more patient and waited till he fanned and turned around.

Sounds like your a fast learner. Congratulations on a great trip. What a great fisheries we have.

Thanks Ray, I definitely would prefer to work one in but on a rainy morning I wasn't going to pass up a golden opportunity on a nice bird that I've scouted.

t was raining when I got up but I put 10 birds to bed last night where I had earlier built a blind so I had to go. Got in early and put out a hen in each field along a fence line. As dawn approached I could see three birds on the roost where I left them last night about 120 yards away.Just after legal shooting time I heard a thundering gobble from the tree right next to me. Big Tom about 25 yards up that I had walked under when I put out a decoy. i never even called and when his feet hit the ground he was mine. Didn't see him fly up last night or I would never have set up that close. Scouting does pay dividends.. 9" beard and 1 1/4 " spurs. Look kinda ratty when they are wet!

I almost fished out of Stony this morning but made the run to Mexico instead. I've fished 10 days this spring and we've limited and released others 9 of the 10 days. Been a great spring so far but I'm about to transition some to walleyes.

Great report.

Later ran toward Oswego and out into 20-45 fow looking for a possible king. Tried lead-core, down riggers and dipsy with little success except for a few more browns. There are some kings being caught but we didn't hit any. Photos of some of the released fish. ======= =============

Last morning of scouting as I'm fishing the lake for browns tomorrow. I've located several nice Toms on land I have access to and a couple bunches of Jakes. Hopefully, if I'm successful, I'll be able to post some photos some day this week.

Also out around Bull Shoal with deep divers off boards and a good chance for big pike also. Out from where the Black River flows into the bay there are a series of white buoys and I've caught them there on spinners and crawlers in about 7 fow.

Great photos. Can't wait to hear thew stories.

I fish the St Lawrence at night on a regular basis and often use a spotlight to shine up the eyes and find location. The bright spotllight definately causes the fish to move off nto deeper water. I do use a headlight when fishing and as long as you're not shinning it into the water it has little affect. May want to try a red colored light if you're really worried. t's amazing how shallow fish will got night.

Sounds like some quality fish.

I boughyt a second one as I liked the first on so well.

Unbelivable perch in Seneca. Haven't seen perch like that in nearly 40 years since I went to school at Hobart. Most places a 13" is a pig.

A boat in 8-9 fow.

I talked to a friend that fished there Saturday and said they had a decent day. Others fished Monday and things were slow.

Ryan, Sounds like a great day. We hit the browns well on Friday and also got a laker and a whitefish. Nice to see some Kings showing up. I'm out of town next week but will be headed out when I return. There's been a good perch bite on at Kring's.

On Wednesday I had 46 lbs. of large (over 8.5 inches up to 13") fishing by myself. I only had 10.5 lbs. of medium and 2 lbs. of small. The only smalls I keep are gut hooked. They are paying $1.75 for large and $1.50 for medium. That's a good ratio of large perch. I use the largest fathead minnows I can get.

Finally got photo.

Not sure as I crushed them on Tuesday and Wednesday. Mostly nice fish. Where exactly were you fishing? Hard to believe they are gone after what I caught this week but it can happen. I fished Mexico for browns yesterday and we went 20 for 23!

Mine are not I fish or hunt most every day!

Fish hit well early and we had limited out by 8:20. continued to upgrade through the morning. Mostly browns with better average size this trip. Many in the 4-5 ponders and a few larger. Caught the first whitefish of the year. Having trouble downloading photos from my phone. ====================

Great job and nice King.

Filled cooler the last two days. many 11-13" and the majority over 8.5"

glad to hear they are still on. I'm waiting for the wind to die down latter this week.
